Well.I didn’t mean to be so long between posts.It’s been a case of “life happens” with Dad.He’s 92 and was doing OK up until September.Since then, I’ve been at his house every Sunday afternoon and one doctor appointment during the week.At least we thought he was doing OK, but now that I’ve had a chance to go through this years paperwork, something had been starting in June.We moved him to assisted living the end of November, it should have been done a year ago, given his eating (rather lack of) situation.He just wasn’t thinking about eating.Now at least he’s getting 3 meals a day put in front of him, and he’s eating regularly.

and ready to be turned in for quilting and binding. In real life, the white isn’t quite so white, i has red stars on it. I’m always puzzled by how different many quilts look in person, vs. how the camera sees them.

Here’s QOV #6, the blocks are sewn, but not to each other yet. I’m debating whether to put sashing between them, or not. I kind of like the blue. This particular red is too dark, maybe lighter red? But no sashing and just a border to bring it to size means it will be finished and turned in for quilting faster. (more…)

The 2 quilts are still at the machine quilters. Wait – I know I showed the American Jane last post, did I ever show the pink/red/green “rose” quilt top? Maybe not, I can’t even find any photos of it, odd, I could swear I took some. They probably will not be done until end of the month.Or did I tell the one quilter end of July would be fine?Oh well, they are not gifts, and there is no need for them until winter anyway.This time of year, the machine quilters around here are kept quite busy with graduation present quilts.

QOV #3 came back from quilting & I did the binding and turned it in for laundering and presentation.QOV top #4 got turned in a few weeks ago for quilting, I don’t know if I’ll get it back to do the binding or if someone else will be doing it.Here is QOV top #5, (more…)

The American Jane quilt top is DONE!I wish I knew when I started it.I got the pattern and jelly rolls and started sewing the blocks fairly quickly to the half hexagon stage.Then they sat for a few years because I had no good place to lay them out.Needless to say – I am so happy I made the design wall.Any way, here’s the completed top, the colors are truest toward the bottom left – (more…)

I’m not doing so great at the blogging again! I had no idea it’s been 2 months again already.I can see why so many formerly frequently posting bloggers are moving to Instagram.A quick snap, a few lines, and hit a button.I’m working on not over-thinking my writing, as that’s what takes so long for me to get something written.The sewing one day every weekend is working well.The house is suffering, but I’m getting sewing done.Except this weekend, yesterday I HAD to buckle down and get my part of the tax stuff done, which I did, and turned the envelope over to DH to do his part.
